Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures

Speaking of those rare matts, If we can come up with a nice one I have a place that says they can make them. I've seen them make several other rubber and plastic items and they do come out exactly as what was used for a pattern down to the last detail. Just a thought.

Mark, your pictures are great ! and the tires do make the "right" difference in appearance . That's one to be proud of !

Thanks Jon,
If you can vouch for the company you mention that could take my sound original center mat, and reproduce it without destroying my mat, then I'll help by sending it in.
Let me know.

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures

Hey Dave, I am not sure about that, but like "60-66", "OEM4Me", "Factorystock" and many many other site members, I enjoy contributing. I have been into the '64-66 trucks for over 30 years now, and grew up bouncing around inside a '64 Carryall with my Twin sister in logging camps on Vancouver Island. So owning this particularly '66 Carryall is like coming full circle. I think we all are just getting started in assisting one another to enjoy these trucks as much as possible.
I know of a few more very special Carryall's and panels that have not been posted, so I hope we can get those folks to share their prizes with all of us.

Dave, by the way, your own yellow Carryall is just spectacular, and a great example of a truck being enjoyed in the way it was meant to be.

Keep us posted if anything happens on this issue. I got dibs on the first one out of the press.
Anyone notice the side mirrors on this thing? These I believe are correct dealer installed accessories available to trucks and sport vans. They look very similar (but not exact) to Corvette mirrors of that era. I've seen them in the brochures but never installed until this one came along. Awesome truck!

Thanks for all of the kind comments.
I appreciate the info! There was a thread discussing thin whitewalls a while back, & I started researching options for my truck. I plan to keep it looking mostly original but would eventually like to get a bigger tire. It currently has Firestone fr380 in 205/75/15. But those would look good if I decide not to use the whitewall.

I started to ask about those mirrors as well. I was wondering if they were original or not. They look good on there either way!

Re: Let's post 60-66 SUBURBAN Only Pictures

I'm looking for a middle and rear floor mat for my 66 Burb restoration. Has there been any progress on good reproduction mats after the revelation of the gentleman in this thread offered his mint middle mat for reproduction purposes?
